That's a good find Dundee, Hadspen is not to far from where Thomas was married.

This link may  help  with abbreviations on Vic BDMs   

ESSE seems to indicate Essendon, but it doesn't seem to have a suggestion for DENSAN

RED POST,

Agh ... no children to Thomas,  .... So you are descended from Joseph?

Or ESSE could be ESSEX 😀

   yes,  but the actual document would likely need to be acquired to know what it actually says, rather than just the abbreviation used on the index.

No marriage to a Sinclair on VICBDM.

’Agh ... no children to Thomas,  .... So you are descended from Joseph?’

JM, that would be difficult to prove, given that there is no evidence that Joseph the convict ever left Tasmania, or married. 

I don’t think that picking Thomas’ at random will prove he is the Tasmanian convict. Thomas Love was not an uncommon name.

Could even be this one, then, age 36:
